A review by aislinghelen
The Devious Husband by Catharina Maura

Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.

I wanted to love it. Her books are really either love em or hate em for me, and this just wasn’t going the way I needed it to. I wanted more of their relationship and the tension but kept getting other people pushing them together or overstepping boundaries. Raven in particular annoyed me in this. Anyway, I decided to check reviews to see if it was going to be more of them or if the pushy ones were in it a lot. Instead most of the reviews said that it goes down hill from 40% and things get worse later in the book.

The biggest thing that made me give up was that Sierra kept saying that she hated him and had good reasons but never stuck to it. And everyone around her just ignored what she was saying and kept pushing them together. I wanted tension and longing and “fuck it” but got “well, maybe everyone’s right” and her being treated like a child and him being obsessed but also annoying and unable to admit his mistakes. Seriously, everything he ever did is just written off as “he was so in love”.
